The relations between science and industry

Economy and knowledge are closely intertwined in the knowledge-based economy. Scientific knowledge as a result of conducted research should significantly react on the market demand. The driving force behind the knowledge-based economy is shaping mutual relations among all the actors involved in the process of its creation. What's more, those actors contribute to the value-added formation. Above all, each side of the partnership should know the reasons why it is built and what benefits could be derived from it.
